Miss Fisher e la cripta delle lacrime

I was a HUGE fan of the TV series. This movie just lacked the fun aspect of the series. The cameos of the cabbies Bert and Seth, and Dot and Hugh added nothing. It needs the ensemble cast to pull it all together. I would love to see that happen again. Hope it will come to pass. This movie story line was a bit out there as well.

As a huge fan of the original series, I had high hopes for the movie, especially since the production team specifically chose to crowd source in order to gain more creative control. Overall the film was entertaining, but as several reviews have already stated, it missed the mark. The plot would have worked better as a single episode, the story was stretched thin and added unnecessary complications in order to make it feature length. Additionally, the film lacked the character interactions that made the series so endearing. Having hardly any of the regular characters return, and having the few that did feature not interact with Phyrne, was the real downfall of the film. The scenes between Phryne and Jack were a saving grace, and the only aspect that was reminiscent of the original series.

I am a fan of the tv show and I am was very glad to find here Miss Fisher as she ever was, all stylish and cool. And she still has great chemistry con Jack. And this time they meet places. It was fun! But the story itself was lacking, specially because of the supernatural implications, which were not a part of the show. It reminded me a little of the old MacGyver show. They did a couple of made-for-tv movies that were about Merlin and Atlantis and things like that. Suddenly supernatural. Besides that, it was telegraphed who "done it". So, , did I enjoy this? Yes, quite. But they had a lot of time to do it, they could have make something better.

I love the Miss Fisher TV series. I binge watched it. I found it quirky, whimsical and refreshing. With the TV show, I find it a different kind of suspense as to "whodunnit"

Whilst the movie tried to incorporate all the above, and they were present, they didn't feel the same. It all felt forced.

Was it because the actors felt pressure to deliver a product for a larger, more global demographic? Was it because it was set in so many locations? The whole "global" storyline just feels like it's been done to death in previous movies, especially revolving around Middle Eastern lore & curses. it almost had an Indiana Jones feel to it.

To me, the whole movie felt a bit garbled and rushed. You couldn't really relate to, or immerse yourself, with what was being shown. I just found it didn't feel "true" to the Miss Fisher TV style, even though all the attributes were present.

I liked the movie, probably because of the nostalgia of loving the original characters from the TV show, but I definitely wouldn't be in a hurry to watch it again.

Miss Fisher was a bit of a disappointment, the Crypt of Tears could easily have fit into an hour long TV episode. While the costumes and scenery were lovely and the soundtrack great the plot was a bit thin and it dragged. 3 Stars George: I lost the plot and couldn't figure out what was going on but I enjoyed the scenery and the the 1920s jazz soundtrack was fabulous. 3.5 stars
